Covered with flames, the dragon sped
toward its destiny; the final battle. However, Beowulf’s shield
wasn’t strong enough to protect his life and body
for as long as he thought it would:
that was the first time
Beowulf wasn’t victorious
in battle. So King Beowulf
raised his sword and struck hard
at the metal-like scales, but it hardly made an impact:
the blade gleamed and cut; but it wasn’t
powerful enough. The treasure keeper
attacked and spurted toxic flames:
when he felt Beowulf’s attack, he
shot fire. For once, Beowulf was
not the winner. The shining sword,
that was previously invincible till that day,
failed Beowulf when he took it out of its sheath.
For Beowulf, as the son of Ecgtheow, it was difficult
to succumb in battle and go
reluctantly to the other side
of the world; so it is right to give up
their lives.
